召腓力拿但业为门徒

43 又次日,耶稣想要往加利利去,遇见腓力,就对他说:“来跟从我吧!” 44 腓力伯赛大人,和安得烈彼得同城。 45 腓力找着拿但业,对他说:“摩西在律法上所写的和众先知所记的那一位,我们遇见了,就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。” 46 拿但业对他说:“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗?”腓力说:“你来看!” 47 耶稣看见拿但业来,就指着他说:“看哪,这是个真以色列人,他心里是没有诡诈的!” 48 拿但业对耶稣说:“你从哪里知道我呢?”耶稣回答说:腓力还没有招呼你,你在无花果树底下,我就看见你了。”

拿但业认耶稣为神之子

49 拿但业说:“拉比,你是神的儿子,你是以色列的王!” 50 耶稣对他说:“因为我说在无花果树底下看见你,你就信吗?你将要看见比这更大的事!” 51 又说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:你们将要看见天开了,神的使者上去下来在人子身上。”

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(A) he said to him, “Follow me.”(B)

44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(C) 45 Philip found Nathanael(D) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(E) and about whom the prophets also wrote(F)—Jesus of Nazareth,(G) the son of Joseph.”(H)

46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(I) Nathanael asked.

“Come and see,” said Philip.

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(J) in whom there is no deceit.”(K)

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(L) you are the Son of God;(M) you are the king of Israel.”(N)

50 Jesus said, “You believe[a] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[b] you[c] will see ‘heaven open,(O) and the angels of God ascending and descending(P) on’[d] the Son of Man.”(Q)

44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
